[gdb] Add 'Concept Index' entry '&' for background execution
GDB's execution commands have a foreground and background variant: f.i., there's 'continue' and 'continue&', and both are listed individually in the 'Command, Variable, and Function Index'. But the '&' is not listed in the 'Concept Index' as being connected with the concept background execution. This patch adds an '&' in the 'Concept Index': ... * $_, $__, and value history: Memory. (line 119) +* &, background execution of commands: Background Execution. + (line 16) * --annotate: Mode Options. (line 121) ... pointing to this line in 'Background Execution': ... To specify background execution, add a '&' to the command. ... Build on x86_64. 2018-06-14 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> * gdb.texinfo (Background Execution): Add @cindex for '&'.
